The Definition of You.



I am. . .(fill in the blank).

In addition, I am also. . .(since you are a multi-dimensional being, add another quality) and. . . (fill in this blank) as well.

I am happiest when. . .

I am at my best when. . .

I am strongest when. . .

My skill sets are. . .

What I would like to learn is. . .

What I would like to do less of is. . .

What I would like to  do more of is. . .

I want to spend more time. . .

Define yourself.

Ask yourself the important questions and arrive at the answers that are foundational to who you really want to be.

Too often we let others define us;   we buy in to what others want us to be or default to what they believe we are.  We are then compromised.   We are living the life that others want us to live - not the life that we are gifted to inhabit.   If we let others define us, we are not fulfilled.

Or we let circumstances define us;   we lose our better selves to the pressures that surround us.   We let the consistent sway of the day decide what kind of person we are.   We lose control to that which we have no ownership.  If we let circumstances define us, we are not fulfilled.

Foundationally, nothing can really define you -  but you.   So if we let anyone or anything define us  we have lost one of our greatest gifts.

So, take a few meditative minutes . . .or days.  Talk a walk. . .go to coffee.    Get to the most basic truth by defining yourself. . .to yourself.   Then let that be how you live your life.
